Anticipated Impact

By using biodegradable materials, we can greatly reduce plastic waste from N95 masks.

• Seafood waste is fairly easy to acquire and reusing it reduces our environmental impact. (6-8 tons discarded annually)

  • In developing countries, seafood waste is often dumped into landfills or the ocean.

  • In developed countries, companies often end up paying to get rid of their seafood waste.

• Agricultural waste, when processed, is a cheap and environmentally-friendly material.

  • In the United States alone, over 200 million tons of waste is discarded from wheat and barley.

• The biofoam and bioplastic are also produced using biodegradable materials such as gelatin, agar, and glycerin.
